Explanation
Starting with Windows Vista, Microsoft removed the hard-coded maximum size cap on the Recycle Bin. Instead of a fixed GB ceiling, the Recycle Bin uses a configurable percentage of available disk space (defaulting to ~10% per drive), which scales with drive capacity. This means there is no fixed upper limit in GB - the bin can grow as large as the allocated space allows. Choices B, C, and D represent specific GB values that are fabricated distractors not aligned with how the Recycle Bin is sized in Vista+.
